Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
David Bowie
Image
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
David Bowie
Image
I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.
David Bowie
Image
The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
Image
It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
David Bowie
Image
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
Image
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
David Bowie
Image
I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.
David Bowie
Image
It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
David Bowie
Image
I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
David Bowie
Image
[While] my life started taking on all the problems of addiction. So that took me off into an area where relationships were absolutely impossible to handle on any real level. . . . Even communicating with other people was impossible.
David Bowie
Image
I don't have stylistic loyalty. That's why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.
David Bowie
Image
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
David Bowie
Image
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.
David Bowie
Image
I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.
David Bowie
Image
I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie
Image
I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
David Bowie
Image
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
David Bowie
Image
Lou Reed is the most important definitive writer in modern rock. Not because of the stuff that he does, but the direction that he will take it.
David Bowie

Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
